Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector of orthopedic surgery, and more particularly relates to a method of designing a surgical device for assisting the placement of an orthopedic implant between two bones of a patient's joint.
  • the invention finds an application for any type of orthopedic joint implant such as knee prostheses, shoulder prostheses and, more generally, any type of orthopedic implant requiring to make cuts in the anatomical bone area in front of to be prosthetic.
  • the devices may consist of tibial guide blocks, femoral guide blocks, etc. These blocks incorporate slots in their thickness for the passage and guiding of cutting blade instruments, which slots are suitably oriented. and positioned according to the bone cuts that must be made for the implant placement.
  • the cartilage of the joint wears to the point of generating angular deformation of the limb including the joint.
  • knee deformity in valgus is characterized by joint wear in the outer compartment of the knee. The center of the knee is very far from the mechanical axis of the leg.
  • US2009 / 088760 A1 discloses a method of designing a surgical device comprising the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • One of the aims of the invention is therefore to propose a method for designing a surgical device for assisting the placement of an orthopedic implant between two bones of a patient's joint, which makes it possible to remedy the less to one of the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • the surgical device comprises an intra-articular stabilization member, intended to be positioned between the two bones of the joint to stabilize and re-ax a limb comprising the joint by filling a space defined by a wear of a portion of the joint. articulation, and two guide blocks attached to the stabilizing member, at least one of which in a removable manner, and on either side of a plane defined by said stabilizing member.
  • the guide blocks comprise means for attachment to the bone and each have at least one slot for engaging and guiding an instrument for performing operations of cutting bone parts.
  • the at least one slot of one of the guide blocks comprises orientations and determined positions. relative to the slot or slits of the other guide block.
  • the device also makes it possible to correctly align the two bones of the joint and to simultaneously position all the bone sections to be produced.
  • the section planes defined by the slots of a guide block are oriented and positioned relatively to the section planes of the other guide block. The relative position of the cuts relative to each other is perfect and correctly balanced between the two bones, which ensures an optimal restitution of the joint space.
  • One device to set up in a single operation all necessary cutting plans are implemented.
  • the intra-articular stabilization member is positioned without the need for prior bone cutting. It is the intra-articular stabilization member which is positioned to fill a space defined by the wear of a portion of the joint and thus stabilizes and re-ax the limb comprising the joint. The positioning of the stabilizing member makes it possible to position bone sections directly in a suitable manner.
  • the fact that at least one of the guide blocks, and preferably both, is removably attached to the intra-articular stabilization member allows, after positioning the stabilizing member between the two bones of the joint, and fixed the guide blocks to the corresponding bones in the extended position, a bending of the bones allows to separate the one or both guide blocks of the intra-articular stabilization member. This operation separates the two guide blocks to facilitate subsequent bone cutting operations.
  • the surgical device may comprise a member adapted to lock the fixing of the guide blocks on the intra-articular stabilization member.
  • the locking member of said instrument comprises a handle.
  • the intra-articular stabilization member has a variable thickness in order to best adapt to the morphology of the patient and to be able to optimally re-target the two bones of the front joint. bone cutting operations.
  • the intra-articular stabilization member has two faces intended to be in abutment with the patient's bones, and of which at least one of the faces has a shape complementary to the bone with which it is intended to be in support.
  • the device according to the invention is custom-made and adapts perfectly to the morphology of the patient.
  • the intra-articular stabilization member is constituted by a stack of concave or convex wedges. This feature makes it possible to adjust the thickness of the stabilizing member by adding or removing a shim. This allows in particular to be able to adapt to the morphology of the patient and to re-focus optimally the two bones of the joint.
  • the guide blocks form a stop for the positioning of the intra-articular stabilization member. More specifically, the surfaces of the guide blocks intended to be in abutment with the bone form stops. These bearing surfaces are preferably adapted to the shape of the bones with which they are intended to be supported.
  • the invention aims to provide a computer-aided design method of a surgical device for assisting the placement of an orthopedic implant between two bones of a patient's joint.
  • the surgical device for assisting the placement of an implant is custom designed and allows, on the one hand, to re-focus the two bones of a joint, without previous bone cuts, and on the other hand , to correctly position the cutting planes in a relative position relative to each other. After placement of the surgical device between the two bones of the joint, no adjustment of the ligament balance is necessary, the bone sections are positioned and can be performed.
  • the method comprises a step of manufacturing the surgical device by manufacturing the intra-articular stabilization member and the two previously designed guide blocks by an additive manufacturing technique.
  • a method of using said aforementioned surgical device to assist in the placement of an orthopedic implant between two bones of a patient's joint is disclosed, the method not forming part of the invention.
  • the use of the device is simplified and allows for bone cutting in a space-saving environment.
  • the two blocks of sections are positioned simultaneously and with section planes positioned relative to each other, and are then made independent by bending the two bones of the joint. No adjustment of the ligament balance needs to be performed, and the bone cuts are accurate.
  • FIG. 1 The figures of the drawings show an example of the guide device adapted, for example, to make femoral and tibial cuts without excluding other applications depending on the type of orthopedic implant to be implanted, for example, a femoral implant. .
  • the device (1) comprises, on the one hand, an intra-articular stabilization member (2), and, on the other hand, two guide blocks (3) of an instrument intended to carry out cutting operations of parts of the bones.
  • the intra-articular stabilization member (2) can have various forms. Indeed, the essential lies in the fact that the intra-articular stabilization member (2) is intended to be positioned between the two bones of the joint (6), in particular to stabilize and re-ax the limb comprising the articulation (6), by filling a space (7) defined by the wear of a portion of the articulation (6).
  • the intra-articular stabilization member (2) generally called “spacer”
  • spacer comprises two faces, each intended to bear with a bone of the joint (6), and defined in this way a main plan.
  • One of the faces of the spacer (2) may have shapes complementary to the bone with which they are intended to be supported. In this way, said spacer (2) is tailored and well adapted to the morphology of the patient
  • This hinge portion (6) requiring the implantation of a prosthesis must therefore include a worn part and must therefore not be properly aligned.
  • a second step then consists and with reference to figures 6 and 7 , to virtually correct the alignment of the hinge (6) so as to define a space (7) between the two bones of said hinge (6) corresponding to the worn part to be replaced by an orthopedic implant (8).
  • spacer (2) is therefore designed in a computer-assisted manner by adding virtual material to fill the space (7) defined between the bones of the joint (6). In this way, a spacer (2) of anatomical and customized shape is obtained. The subsequent positioning during the surgical procedure of such a spacer (2) between the two bones of the patient's articulation (6) thus makes it possible to stabilize and re-ax in an optimal manner the joint (6) concerned. .
  • the guide blocks (3) are fixed to the spacer (2), advantageously in a removable manner, and on either side of the main plane defined by said spacer (2).
  • the guide blocks (3) comprise fixing means (4) to the bone, for example in the form of oriented tubes and each adapted to receive an anchoring means, such as a smooth or threaded spindle.
  • These tubes (4) extend from the guide blocks (3) and include a bearing surface with the bone. This bearing surface makes it possible to achieve a stop when positioning the spacer (2) between the two bones of the joint (6).
  • the bearing surface of the tubes (4) has a shape complementary to the bone with which it is intended to be supported to ensure the rotational stability.
  • the guide blocks (3) are locked in their fixed position on the spacer (2) by means of a locking member.
  • This locking member may be in the form of a gripper coming to grip said guide blocks (3) to keep them in a fixed position.
  • the clamp can example be extended by a handle facilitating the handling of the surgical device (1), and thus to facilitate the positioning of the spacer (2) between the two bones of the joint (6).
  • the clamp may comprise a snap-in system, for example, to easily cooperate with said guide blocks (3).
  • the guide blocks (3) then each have at least one slot (5) for engaging and guiding an instrument for performing cutting operations of the different bone parts.
  • the one or more slits (5) of one of the guide blocks (3) comprise orientations and positions determined with respect to the slit (s) (5) of the other guide block. So and with reference to the figure 9 the slits (5) define slice planes, which are positioned in relative relation to one another.
  • the guide blocks (3) are designed in a computer-assisted manner.
  • the volume of prosthetic space positioned in the space (7) of the virtual model of the joint (6) intersects with the bones of said virtual model.
  • the intersecting planes define plans for bone cutting to be performed to set up the orthopedic implant (8).
  • the guide blocks (3) are designed so that their slots (5) are in line with these intersecting planes. In other words, the slots (5) of the guide blocks (3) are coplanar with said section planes defined by the prosthetic space volume.
  • the bearing surfaces of the guide blocks (3) and the end of the tubes (4) are designed to be complementary shapes with the bones on which they are supported.
  • the slits (5) of the guide blocks (3) are positioned to allow to perform bone cuts according to the section planes defined by the prosthetic space volume.
  • guide blocks (3) and spacer (2) are designed in a virtual manner, their manufacture should be programmed by techniques well known in the state of the art, such as by direct or indirect 3D printing.
  • the guide blocks (3) can be fixed in any suitable manner to the spacer (2), and can even form a single piece with said spacer (2), this device not forming part of the invention. At least one of the guide blocks (3), and preferably both, is removably attached to said spacer (2) to facilitate cutting operations as will be described hereinafter.
  • the surgical device (1) when using the surgical device (1) to assist in the placement of an orthopedic implant (8) between two bones of a joint (6) of a patient, it is appropriate to first to position the spacer (2) between the two bones extending the joint (6).
  • the positioning of the spacer (2) makes it possible to stabilize and re-orient the articulation (6).
  • This implementation can be carried out by maintaining said spacer (2) by the handle of the clamp-type locking member. The spacer (2) is positioned until the guide blocks (3), and in particular their fixing tubes (4), abut against the bones of the joint (6).
  • each guide block (3) should be attached to the corresponding bone of the hinge (6).
  • This step is performed by inserting smooth or threaded pins into each attachment tube (4), and securing them to the bone of the joint (6), for example by screwing.
  • the two guide blocks (3) are removably attached to the spacer (2) to facilitate subsequent cutting operations.
  • the bone sections (9) make it possible to prepare the bones for receiving, with reference to the figure 11 , the orthopedic implant (8) itself.
  • the surgical device (1) according to the invention therefore allows to simultaneously position the bone cutting planes such that the relative position of the cuts will be perfect and properly balanced which ensures an optimal restitution of the joint space.
